Yoga expert reveals her fitness secret

Rani Mukerji is all set to fire up the screen in her latest film “Dil Bole Hadippa”. For the first time in her career, the actress will even be seen in a bikini in this movie.

Rani and yoga expert Payal Gidwani have worked as a team to achieve the hot body that Rani would be flaunting in the movie.

Payal started off with Rani on April 16, 2008. At that time Rani weighed 56 kilos, which has now been brought down to 49-50 kilos.

Initially Rani had a heavy lower body. She could only do 5-10 Suryanamaskars and had very weak nerves. As a result, stretching would lead to cramps.

To increase her cardio vascular endurance, Payal had to incorporate simple cardio exercises like getting Rani to walk up and down the stairs of her bungalow.

Now Rani has not only lost the extra kilos but can easily do 100 Suryanamaskars or 2,000-2,500 Kapalbhati in a go and can also hold on to Asanas for 1 minute. Her breathing technique has also improved.
